Why is this 1st and 10 and not 1st and 25 if the Chiefs did a foul?

The drop in 2018 when Gruden took over the playcalling seems very significant, but for some reason he hasn’t recovered since.

Nothing against him personally, but the instances where you actually get a longterm franchise QB on his second team are so rare, it’s not worth it. The last one was Goff? Just draft a guy and hope for the best. It’s still a gamble, but with considerably better odds.

The Bears are the most interesting project in the NFL. They can get Caleb Williams and the best OT in the draft to protect him. Already have a top receiver to throw to. I feel like the Bears could be the best NFC team over the next 10 years.

Lamar was pick 32. Pretty much everyone passed on him once (even the Ravens). Obviously there were concerns for NFL scouts. If they knew who he was he would be top3.

I think we could have kept him, if McDaniels wanted him as ST coordinator. He was under contract. But usually new head coaches fire almost everyone and bring in their own people.

I feel like the problem is more like that we are never in a rebuild, except for Gruden’s start. And even then we kept the QB. Which other coach traded away several stars for first round picks? Usually every new coach tries to win with the roster someone else build and gets that one big name signing, that gets us excited and wins us 6-7 games. It’s always “The team is not that bad, we can compete now” even if we suck for twenty years. Then we hit a ceiling because we didn’t do the proper rebuild and shortly after the coach gets fired again.

If Gruden hit on some first round picks, this could have been a Super Bowl team by 2021. But we are too impatient to try it again. The obsession with “competing now” leads to us never making the steps to get competitive in the future.

He should have tried a lateral.

I am very chilled. If it works that’s great. If it doesn’t we are getting a new coach and gm in the off-season and we get a high pick to draft our QB of the future. The worst case was always a third McDaniels season. That’s not a threat any more.

I am done with coaches with weird character problems. del Rio with his statements, Gruden with his e-mails, McDaniels with his cheating and leaving the Colts at the altar, now Bienemy with his sexual harassment?

Can’t we just hire a decent coach, who is not a weirdo and comes with a lot of baggage that will ultimately backfire on us? Is that so hard?

Some people let their job and their failures stress them out. Jimmy doesn’t. He’s just chilling.

Why would we trade for someone? We are 3-4 and really don’t look like playoff team. If at all we trade players away.

I hate gaming patents so much. They never license anything, they just stop other developers from using features.

I really don’t understand how this contract happened. Didn’t he make about $10 million per year on his last contract with the 49ers in 2022? How did that get so much more? It’s not that he played a lot better than before or was more healthy.

I can’t remember a player, who complained this much publicly while starting every week. But I can’t even blame him, if you look at how this team is run.
